Fiscal Incentives and Green Investment Decisions among Medium-Sized Enterprises

Abstract

This integrative review examines the following Indonesia-focused question: Which fiscal incentives are most likely to influence green investment decisions by medium-sized enterprises, and what complementary conditions determine whether those incentives lead to actual projects? The analysis treats fiscal incentives as a conditional economic mechanism rather than a stand-alone headline indicator and evaluates how it interacts with green investment. For fiscal incentives, peer-reviewed research is read together with current official statistical and policy material, with Indonesia-specific evidence given priority and international studies used to clarify mechanisms. Across the reviewed material, the effect of fiscal incentives varies with exposure, timing, market structure, institutional arrangements, and the capacity of decision makers to adjust. The article therefore develops a mechanism-based interpretation that distinguishes first-round transmission, behavioral response, and boundary conditions for green investment. No primary survey, interview, firm observation, or regression estimate is manufactured for this fiscal incentives conceptual review; empirical claims remain attributed to their original sources. The resulting fiscal incentives framework supports differentiated measurement and identifies an Indonesia-specific research agenda for testing the proposed channels with more granular data.
